Aberrant: Underworld

From the depths of the triads' heroin fields to the Nakato Gumi's secret Kuro-Tek research and development facilities, the world of organized crime is at war with the forces of order. Will you side with Project Utopia against the purveyors of death and vice, or will the money they offer be enough to tempt you to their side?

Other times, it just takes your money and kills you.

Aberrant: Underworld details the dark secrets of the organized crime syndicates of the Aberrant world. The Camparelli-Zukhov Megasyndicate, the Heaven Thunder Triad, the Nakato Gumi yakuza and the Medellín cartel are all laid bare for the edification of those who want to run or play in an organized crime Aberrant series.

Hidden Lore

Release: Originally published November 2002, this was the only Trinity Universe product published in that year, and the final official Aberrant product. It was one of White Wolf's early entries into the PDF market, and was never available in print. After Underworld, 2003 only saw the release of two unfinished manuscripts — Brainwaves for Aberrant and Asia Ascendant for Trinity — before official publication resumed in 2004 with the d20 versions of the games.

Each chapter contains its own in-setting color section and out-of-character black-and-white section, the final product to do so.

Like Trinity's Terra Verde, Underworld is formatted for 8.5"x11" rather than the more standard 7"x10".

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
